Gifted & Talented

Gifted and Talented educational programs serve those students who excel or demonstrate the potential to excel beyond their peers in terms of general intellectual ability, a specific academic aptitude or artistic ability. A comprehensive, K-12 gifted and talented program allows such students a place for realizing their full academic potential in an environment that allows them to move at their own pace and challenge themselves.
